The request for proposals (RFP) for the 2025 Human Services Bus Ticket Program (HSBTP) opens on Friday, October 25th through Tuesday, November 26th 2:00 pm 2024. Interested organizations must apply every year to be considered for this award. Awards are scheduled to be announced in December. After completion of the contracting process, awardees will have access to discounted bus and Link lightrail tickets as early as January 2025.
Also known as the bus ticket program, the HSBTP RFP is open to all non-profit entities and government agencies serving people experiencing homelessness and/or low-income individuals in King County. Awards help reduce barriers to public transportation by providing discounted King County Metro and Link Light Rail tickets. These discounted tickets help connect people to important services and supports for overall housing stability and wellness. Examples include transportation access to food and economic assistance programs, family support services, education and job training, employment, behavioral health appointments, and legal assistance.
In 2024, 132 agencies were awarded throughout King County.
